I do after school tutoring for Math and Science. Whenever I come across a problem or strategy I like, I post it here. I am also working on a series called "The Math of 'The Martian'" In which I pull out Jr High and High School level Math and Science problems from the book "The Martian"

Speed of Light
Today I learned that the first calculations on tge speed of light came when someone noticed that the eclipses cased by Jupiter's moons were appearing several minutes later then the were predicted to. I must research this further to see if there is a way i can turn this into a classroom problem.
